The “After DOMA: What It Means for You” LGBT Organizations Fact Sheet Seriesdetails many of the ways federal agencies accord legal respect to married same-sex couples following the fall of DOMA. The fact sheets cover 14 different areas, and will be updated as issues are clarified by the federal government.

The fact sheet series is produced together by: American Civil Liberties Union, Center for American Progress, Family Equality Council, Freedom to Marry, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, Human Rights Campaign, Immigration Equality, Lambda Legal, National Center for Lesbian Rights, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and OutServe-SLDN.

These fact sheets are intended to provide general information regarding major areas of federal marriage-based rights and protections offered by federal agencies. Before making a decision, it is essential that same-sex couples consult an attorney for individualized legal advice.
